Abstract: Pre-processing of image is considered to be an important aspect medical image analysis in order to enhance its quality. Noise reduction is performed for improvement in the visual quality and removing redundant image values. Ways of pre-processing of image are a necessity, for removing the noise and for quality enhancement of the image. Before applying any approach on medical images, measures used to pre-process seem to be vital for limiting the abnormalities’ findings with no influence from background of the medical image. In this work, a filter is proposed based on Adaptive Median and Weiner Hybrid Neural Filter for noise reduction. The review of filtering techniques is implemented using MATLAB platform, followed by comparison of results with different filtering techniques to show the system effectiveness.
